A consortium of cable operators is embarking on a pilot project to deploy the new Conax cardless conditional access (CA) system combined with Coship set-top boxes (STBs), as part of the ongoing digitisation of India's cable TV network.

Three of India's six private direct-to-home (DTH) satellite operators have been sent ministerial show cause notices for not showing all of the mandatory TV channels from state broadcaster Doordarshan (DD).
